DMX linking
Therefore, one DMX universe can contain up to 4 DML-1200 devices with a Media Player and up to 10 devices without Media Player.
To control a DML-1200 without Media Player, 51 DMX channel are necessary. When the Media Player is available, 128 channels
are required.
How to make a link:
1.
Connect the male connector of a DMX Data cable to the DMX Data Out connector of the console.
2. Connect the female connector to the DMX In connector of the fi rst device.
3. Continue linking the remaining devices connecting a cable from the DMX Out connector of each device to the DMX In connector
of the next device on the link.
4. Connect a male terminator (120 Ω ) to the DMX Out connector of the last device in the link.
DML-1200 devices use an Ethernet network also for controlling. The Ethernet cable can link all devices one after each other, without
looking to the DMX universes.
DMX over Ethernet
If you are using a DMX console and other automated lighting products compatible with Art-Net, the Ethernet network can serve as
the link for DMX control.
